I hope this finds you well and happy!  Where we are, winter is finally creeping in, and I’m snuggled up next to a radiator, trying to keep my fingers warm while I type this.  Brrr.

 
I wanted to let you know that *tomorrow* is the official release date – only on Amazon – for my new record, “The Christmas We Hoped For.”

The album will be available on iTunes and all the major outlets later in the season, but if you pre-order it right now, you’ll get it at the lowest possible price, and you’ll be helping me enormously.  We’re trying very hard to stay on the Amazon holiday charts, and every order will keep us in the top 10.

Even more good news – Amazon is currently doing a major discount on the album as part of the pre-order promotion. Right now, the album is available for only $8.48 … but that could change at any time, so head over there as soon as possible to get the lowest price!

There’s a little bit of everything on the album – one of the things I love about the record is the diversity of styles we covered. We did some modern pop songs (like The Weepies’ “All That I Want”), a bluesy-country song that The Eagles and Willie Nelson have done, and we even arranged a few traditional hymns into a jazz-folk medley… and of course we did classics like “White Christmas” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” It was an absolute blast to make this record, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

love and warm woolen socks,

PS – I’m releasing a track per week on my page over at Soundcloud.  Go have a listen and let us know what you think of the songs!
